Challenges
The company needed a data storage infrastructure to accommodate its critical AI models and the vast amounts of data. They required high availability, cost-effectiveness, and a flexible system for future upgrades while also ensuring no service interruptions. The company also faced an early challenge with random HDD connection resets.
Solution
The company implemented an Open-E JovianDSS-based High Availability Shared Storage Cluster. This strategic choice provided the reliability and flexibility needed for expansion and zero-downtime updates. The implementation of Open-E JovianDSS with a 2-tier caching and encryption addressed their needs effectively.
Achieved Result
The implementation of the new storage solution led to significant improvements, including routine updates that no longer require team-wide coordination, consistent 99.99% uptime, and simplified infrastructure management. The rapid response from the Open-E Support Team to resolve initial challenges ensured that the system never went offline, demonstrating the resilience of the Open-E technology. The company also aims to extend its backup strategy by integrating ZFS data replication.
